Hey it looks like regulator is in there also! Cool.

Was this just somebody playing around with an idea or was this a factory prototype... anybody know?

This looks to be factory, so clean and neat how it was done, runs same plug, all fuel line are run perfect.

I hadn't noticed that! Nice and compact.

The pumps I posted a picture of are a gerotor (sp) design that ford uses from '99-up. They used an identical size and dimension pump on the older stuff (not gerotor), but the '99 up is a returnless fuel system, meaning no regulator is needed. The ECM cycles the pump to maintain the pressure that is needed. Pressure can then change in relation to RPM or load if needed. Maybe Cdale had this is mind for the future as well.

With the cast hat, I doubt someone had the tooling and $$$ to design it in their back yard. The overall height is too short for any automotive application, and a built in regulator would also rule out any automotive setup that I can think of.

That was done at C-dale. It was done right before we went belly up. We only did one of them (if I remember right). It worked really well solving all of the heat related issues with the current pump location. I would say it was in the middle of the development process. This was the one in which we were running through the 100 hour test.

I have the hour meter on the head light and it says 42 hrs.

I am sure he means it was MOUNTED on headlight not hooked up to it. I hope at least

Did they complete the 100 hrs or they only get to 42 hrs.
